ISLAMABAD: Muslims all over the world should stand up to support the Palestinian cause. This is our duty as a Muslims to attend the call from Masjid Al Aqsa and help the Palestinian Muslims morally, materially, and in all other possible ways.
This was stated by the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Shujauddin Shaik, while addressing a seminar held at the Quaid-e-Azam Auditorium, Faisal Masjid, Islamabad.
Shujauddin Shaikh warned that the smoke arising from the fire at the Holy Land was fast approaching our doorsteps. If we fail to realize the gravity of the situation, the results might be disastrous not only for the Muslim Ummah but the entire world.
The seminar was part of Tanzeem-e-Islami’s 11-day campaign to garner support for the Palestinian cause and express solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters in their hard times who have stood up for the protection of Al Aqsa mosque.
Speaking on the occasion, Hamas spokesman Dr. Khalid Qadumi apprised the audiences of the brazen Israeli atrocities in Palestine and the way the brave Palestinians and Hamas has been heroically resisting these brutal activities.
In his speech the Markazi Nazim Nashr o Ishaat of Tanzeem e Islami, Ayub Beg Mirza, said that the Israeli bombing has left over 200,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands more injured with over six hundred thousand homeless during the last two and a half months. This was being done by none other than the so-called champions of human rights – the US and its western allies. He called upon the so-called champions of the human rights to put an end to their brutal activities and give peace a chance in the holy land.
Senior journalist and anchorperson Hamid Mir said if half a million people can come out on the streets in London and hundreds of thousands of Jews in the US can make their voice heard in the corridors of US power, why can’t the Muslims of Pakistan gather at least a hundred thousand people to register our protest against the unabashed human rights violations in Palestine.
The renowned religious scholar, Professor Dr Habiur Rahman Asim, said Pakistan is a big potential threat for Israel. Israel is scared of the Islamic, nuclear Pakistan. This is why efforts are being made to unnecessarily engage Pakistan with Afghanistan and divert its attention from Palestinian issue.
Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Kashmiri urged the Muslims around the world with specific mention to the Pakistani Muslims to play their due part in this holy cause. He called upon the Ulema to play their role from the Mehrab of the mosque, Journalists with their pen and the common man with at least boycotting the products of companies that support Israel.
